[QUOTE="dancer, post: 1806852, member: 110569"] Come November, I will have been diagnosed for 40 years. Glass syringe, urine tests in a little test tube, ketone testing on a little tablet and a very rigid diet ("You MUST eat these amounts of carbohydrate at these times or things could go very wrong." is more or less what I was told.) I often asked "why me?" and it took about 2 years for me to accept it as my new way of life. After many changes of insulin along with disposable syringes, insulin pens, blood testing (with strips and colour charts then with meters), I am now on an insulin pump with cgm. These are the best things ever! Type 1 is never easy. Something always comes along and rocks the boat a little or a lot, but you learn to cope with these ups and downs, sometimes alone and sometimes with help from DSN or the forum. My FBG was 8.2 this morning. I'm doing a basal test to see whether my 10am basal needs to be increased, so am having hot water with a slice of lemon to fill the gap till lunch. My target is 6 - 8.
